Hey /jp/, just got into Touhou and i wondered which of the games may be suitable for a starter, no experience with these kind of games at all Thanks for future replies.

(Didn't notice there was a new thread before posting in the old one)

6-8 are the best I think to start off with. (EoSD, PCB and IN) but 10 and 11 are good alternatives. If you want you can take them chronologically, aka starting from 1 and playing them all the way to 13. Or you could just start from whatever strikes your fancy. Just make sure to have fun.

Is it bad that I only like Sakuya because she's S tier in all of the fighters? High hopes that she's in Hopeless Masquerade and retains her glorious S tier spot.

TH13 isn't working properly for me any more. I start it an it appears in the task bar, and I can hear the music and shit too, but it just won't come up for me. I can run it in full screen mode, but I want it windowed, like it always used to be.

I suggest you start with 7 or 8. 6 is fairly easy, but you can't see the hitbox so it's quite annoying when you get skim deaths because of that.

i started with touhou 08 as it was said to be good for beginners. i beat normal recently and when i tried touhou 13 i was fucked because only touhou 8 has the "1 second safety net if you get hit (aka player last spell where you use 2 bombs instead of 1).

so the problem is that in 8 i always waited until i got hit to bomb, but in the other 2hu's it doesn't allow that. any advice?

Even a half-assed trance route gives you 4 additional bombs by stage 3. Stage 5 gives you enough to just bomb through the boss of that stage. Let's not forget bombing will give you more trance, which is practically a bomb and more in terms of survival.

Just don't fucking play IN! You will get lazy with your bombs. I had the same problem but luckily I started out with EoSD so I was easily able to do that. If you really, really want to play IN, just don't play with Reimu, because she has the longest death-bomb time.

If I recall correctly, most of the other games give you 6 frames (100 ms) to use a bomb after you are hit to invalidate the death, but IN gives you much, much longer (I think something like 500 ms with Reimu, but I'm not sure).

It's not difficult, really. Although I understand why if you want to just play a little touhou it's going to a waste of time. As far as I know though, if you get into shmups, (and if you do you should be using a stick and not a keyboard or controller like most people here seem to use) you should scope out a cheap pad where modding a seimitsu ls-32-01 is as simple as just using a screwdriver for 30 seconds.

I don't enjoy playing for score so I guess we're coming from different perspectives, but even having said that, your first experience of the game, going through and trying to 1cc is definitely best done on your own.

Which is why you have to practice. It seems to me that, if you seem to die more often because of the youkai, then choose someone with a wide attack range but low power, like Reimu (very wide attack range, because of the heat-seeking, but very low power). If you tend to be killed by bosses more often and the youkai are easy for you, go with someone with limited range but high power/speed, like Marisa. She'll be able to damage bosses much faster than with Reimu, and so will limit the amount of time you have to be exposed to the boss.

I usually don't like playing for score either, although that is one thing that could make a game better. My first experiences of beating the difficulties in order were great, but I've had a world of fun since that has happened. I think it's a matter of preference. Sometimes, I like to play things I'm not familiar with for the challenge. Other times, I like to play things that I am familiar with for the same reason. I find that playing something that I'm familiar with allows me to use a greater part of my skill. I feel like everything I do is much more powerful and meaningful in a game that I'm familiar with. I feel like a tourist otherwise, but that can have its merits too.

You can say that you have "beaten" a game by cheesing through it with the easiest character, but that will only ever be a fraction of the experience that the game has to offer, unless it's a bad game.
>>10323889
Although I find that your terminology is strange, I agree with you.
>>10323929
The stage can be cheesed if you know where the orbs spawn and have a route. Having a fast and high-spread character also helps. As for the boss, I'm pretty sure that her lasers are static.

Both of those attacks are about proper dodging and positioning. Watching replays can help.

I can already beat her (just recently I got my first 1cc for SA on Normal, and soon after I managed to 1cc with every other character on my first or second try each.

I'm fine with everything else that gets thrown at me, but fuck lasers. Especially on this stage. Way too many of them and they're too quick for me to keep up with. On hard mode which I'm on right now, they seem to shoot off much faster too.

I hope I get used to them soon. They're ruining my fun. I'm even dying to the red lasers in stage4 sometimes. How embarrassing. I can do everything else in that stage pretty well though, even the green card/amulet streaming section.

One question though. Are you 100% sure Yuugi's blue lasers are static? I know the red ones probably are, and that's why they're easy as hell for me to dodge probably, but the blue ones seem to be different each time, and 99% of the time either get a bomb out of me or I'll die stubbornly trying to "capture" it

They are completely static relative to Yuugi's position. If you kill some of the yinyangs before they have time to spawn lasers, then those lasers will be missing. On the higher difficulties, if you don't kill anything at all, the bullet limit will cause some lasers to not spawn.

No offense, but that's not good. You're better than me, probably, but from an objective standpoint, that's not good. Being good comes naturally for the naturally talented players only. Untalented players have to practice properly through enjoyment and through frustration to achieve satisfaction and improvement, and some may not even achieve that at all.

HRAPs are great for STGs, I use a HRAPEX, sticks for STGs have a smaller deadzone to help make small precise movements, it's not something to worry about when starting out though just get used to using it, you'll end up swapping out the stick & buttons later on anyway.

That seems fair enough. The game became much more difficult to me once I had learned chaining, both survival-wise and scoring-wise.

I'd also say that the shot type used has a lot to do with the difficulty of the first loop as well. C-S can make a lot of the first loop pretty trivial, which I unfortunately found out the hard way when I decided it was time to play for score. I had to change my entire playstyle to play with A-L.

Just a general question. When playing Touhou, which strategy do you find better for improving;

-keep playing no matter what happens and always go as far as you can
or
-restart as soon as you die/bomb due to a stupid mistake

I've been using second option always, but now I realize it might be limiting my chances at improving.

I remember when I switched over to A-L. The teleporting ships, along with all of everything after 1-3, was a nightmare to relearn.

The spread shot really makes it much easier. Everything gets destroyed right as it enters the screen, but C-S is also shit for scoring. That doesn't mean you can't see the second loop though!

Does it really matter? The guy starting these arguments can't even clear the games on Lunatic, let alone play for score. His opinion will never matter, he's obviously just trying to stir up trouble because he's upset that he can't clear any of the games on anything above hard.

I think the amount of time spent playing the game should determine who's opinion is more valid. People who play more usually have a better understanding of the scoring systems and other intricacies of the game, even if they can't improve because they are untalented. If you clear it on Lunatic, "gg no re w/e," and hopping to another game because you simply "beat it" doesn't show much competence at all.

Nindel is an up and coming decent player, but there's still Heartbeam, dot_asp, Funen1, T, Naut, Nereid, Riz, Cactu, etc.

Given the way SA hands out resources, a no bomb 1cc is probably harder than a no miss 1cc.

How many people are actually willing to put forth the effort into scoring? Few. Very few. Why? Because it's not easy. Also considering the fact that most scoring runs in [Touhou] games where scoring isn't shitty require you to not die, not bomb unless there is significant scoring gain, and not focus when you're supposed to. Oversimplifying everything and calling it "pitifully easy?" Please, set a new world record.

Still asking for score runs when I've made it very clear I don't play for score? I expected nothing less to be honest.

>How many people are actually willing to put forth the effort into scoring? Few. Very few. Why? Because it's not easy.

Very few yes. Why? Because it's time consuming and boring.
How dull must your life be if you spend hours of your day looking over some guys replay, following "exactly" what he does, seeing one (and yes you only need to improve on 1 area, by a tiny bit to beat him) part that can be slightly improved upon then spending the time learning his route.

>>10328796
Now I can appreciate that as skillful, despite it only being an extra stage.

>>10328805
It is that easy though. I've copied EOSD's WR players route in the past and did better than him for the first 3 stages before realizing I was being an idiotic autist, who was having no fun at all and felt 0 accomplishment by the end of it, and why should I have felt accomplishment? I was copying someones pre laid out route.
This is when I came to the realization that score runners are complete scrubs, and their task requires very little actual "skill"

I have a PS2 controller w/ an adapter that I mostly use for emulation, but i prefer to go keyboard instead for Touhou.
I find keys snappier and more precise than using a gamepad. You may have some luck with the controller if you have enough practice, though. Or maybe you'd just use it for the extra challenge, I dunno. It's all up to you, really.

Most of the scorerunners do challenge runs as well, often succeeding in those due to their extensive knowledge of the game via lots of scoring practice.

I still haven't seen any replay of yours, where you are doing these skillful dodging challenge plays of yours. And now that you are claiming to be an Ichizoku-level player, I'd really like to see those.

You already are a celebrity autist, so I'd tell you to go for it. Remember to use similar amount of rescources than the current WR does in that stage, since every life and bomb will be used later on for supergrazing with bomb/death-invincibility abuse.

Players that can only score run are horrible in my eyes. If the players you mentioned (I don't see your post) have pulled off some No death, No bomb, No focus challenge runs as WELL as score running then they're obviously not horrible, quite the contrary if they can pull off a challenge run like that.

I even have more respect for someone like Riz than most score runners on here. I'd like to see them do some NBNUFO runs and succeed rather than their easy mode, copy some guys replay scoring.

Why even post if you probably knew "score runners" would get defensive? Alright, it's their fault for being defensive. However, you are the cause of such a reaction. Did you expect to persuade them otherwise? If not, it's only going to come off as being unnecessarily rude, and you deserve whatever offensive replies you get. No different from that "EoSD bomb delay" anon.

No one in this thread has to openly state that scoring takes no skill or the opposite. It's already damn clear that people are set in their ways when it comes to judging what is skillful and what isn't. Nothing good will come out of stating one obvious side of an old argument around here, unless you are fishing for responses then trying to outpost them. If that's what you're going for, you're doing a fantastic job, not that achieving that is difficult (see EoSD bomb delay anon).

Otherwise, you sound like a broken record to anyone who has seen any score-related arguments. Why bother when you can take it easy looking down at the scoring community in your mind, alone? Most people here probably have their opinions too, of course. But they are also capable of ignoring disagreeable ones without feeling the need to assert their opinions (redundantly) over multiple posts. You made your opinion clear, let's leave it at that instead of dragging it on, especially not to the next thread.

I am delighted that you hold me in such high regard, but I can tell you from personal experience that scoring is not as easy as you might think. It depends, of course. Some survival challenges are easier than scoring ones and vice-versa. For example, I do not believe that my NBNUFO runs can match the world records for their categories, even if the two things are hard to compare. Those things are scary and made by amazing players with both amazing survival and scoring achievements.

I feel the same way at times. Not that I've been here forever, but I think that these threads used to have more discussion about actual gameplay. Even in places outside of /jp/, I'm having trouble finding people to talk to. The only place where it really seems to happen is the live shows, but those are never permanent.
